I've had the pat down a couple of times and the TSA agents were always very polite and very upfront about why they're going to do. I really didn't find it all that invasive. Of course I wasn't a raging asshole towards them as I've seen many passengers act.

So if the egregious behavior of this cesspool of failed pizza drivers and thieves is pointed out by a website with "no credibility", then it's funny and OK and this b*tch has some kind of problem? *sigh*

You can say what you ever about infowars, and mostly, I find them to be a little more than full of crap, but at least they're DOING something other than poking fun of molestation victims on a forum board while we turn into the Fourth Reich.

I sometimes wonder if I was the only male who paid attention during that portion of sex ed class, while the rest of the boys just sat there, slack-jawed, staring at the pictures with a vague buzzing ringing in their ears.

Nem Wan:Cewley: i'm thinking that if the tsa screenings are keeping people from doing bad shiat, then that's the price we have to pay. this twinkee can take the farking bus if she has a problem.

It's security theatre, and apparently you like the show.

American security theater is so lame. Disheveled and sloppy TSA agents doing full body pat-downs at the airport. Or militarized police with assault rifles and armored vehicles doing house-to-house searches for suspicious crockery and fireworks powder. BORING!!The British have it down - people fawn over the security theater there and constantly take pictures of it. Guys in black furry hats and red wool coats standing at attention in 90 degree weather. Perfectly polished swords. Lots of parades. More CCTV cameras than people. And then, if you don't renew your TV license, some guy in an overcoat visits your house, flashes a fancy ID badge, raises and eyebrow and says, "Would you mind talking to me about why you're not watching TV?"

I don't particularly have a problem with what TSA has to do, but I do have a problem with some of how they do it, including the "shut up and do what you're told" attitude I've encountered at times (I flew 150,000 miles in 2010, so I had plenty of exposure to TSA). I was once screamed at by two TSA screeners at LAX because they gave me conflicting instructions. They were literally two feet away on either side of me telling me different things and yelling when I didn't comply right away.

I also once got the "you're a threat to America" treatment at Newark, and it's only because I asked to have my things in my field of view while I was in the body scanner. Why is it that every time only one of the two x-ray machines on each side of a body scanner is open, it's always the one that causes you to stand inside the body scanner with your things behind you out of your sight? It's like they're admitting they're going to try to steal from you. But I'm sure if you asked, they'd say something like "they don't want you distracted."

I personally feel that a lot of what TSA does is pointless security theater, but fine. I can't bring a 4oz container but I can bring two 3oz containers? Whatever. Have you never noticed that toothpaste is labeled by weight, not volume? LOL. But at least act decently while you do your job.

r0cj07p:Ashley Jessica, an Infowars.com activist unemployed dropout, recently uploaded a video to http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XvT40xUr50k">Yo uTube of a TSA agent allegedly touching her vagina through her clothing during an airport pat down went attention whoring at the airport.

Every person that is frisked or irradiated is another win for the terrorists. Every time a person has to take off their shoes is a win for the terrorists, and every time they have to shuffle off to the side to put them back on is a win for the terrorists. The TSA works for the terrorists, hassling Americans for the past 12 years with very little to show for it.

Wow, I'm surprised by the level of suck-up in this thread. We've come to think being treated like criminals is OK?

They should defund TSA, junk the scanners, and go back to pre-9/11 security. The money spent on TSA should go to better intelligence and law enforcement. 9/11 could have easily been prevented if the FBI and CIA had done their job.

timelady:I get pat down every time I fly. I am in a wheelchair - that tends to set off the scanners;) Not once have i been treated with anything but respect, courtesy, and kindness from the TSA. And their Aussie equivalents.

So long as you kowtow properly you rarely have trouble with the TSA (unless they find something to steal, that is.)

Where you're likely to get trouble is if for some reason you don't or can't kowtow properly. (For example, the poster above who was getting conflicting directions.)

poison_amy:These twats declined to go through the scanner, opted instead for a pat down, and recorded each other. There is nothing that will convince me that this isn't intentional outrage.

It won't load for me so I can't comment directly. However, the reality is that the backscatter units do put out x-rays and would be illegal if the law actually applied to them. The same exemption also means the machines aren't checked, they might be putting out more than they're supposed to. One should opt out of them and one shouldn't have to put up with sexual molestation to do so. (Note: Millimeter wave machines are only hazardous to your modesty.)

Misconduc:I've flown well over one thousand trips in the past two years alone - no incidents, no problems. Only thing TSA can actually do better is screening luggage they have a nice habit of just throwing crap all over the place and repacking it like they don't care.

/Oh no your vag got touched, guess what sugar? Take the bus or train and STFU and deal with it like the rest of us//these kind of people who complain about the TSA are the ones who are not stuck behind these assholes while they play their little temper tantrums - I had to wait 30 minutes to go through screening because some wacko wouldnt remove his shoes - another flight we were all boarded ready to go and some asshole who had to much to drink started having his tantrum about not using the bathroom right away, he should of went BEFORE we boarded, yet he wanted to be in the front of the line///slashes - seriously people are farking retards

You shouldn't have to put up with being molested in order to fly. The old style scanners were more effective anyway at TSAs <b>supposed</b> mission. The new stuff is far worse at seeing a well-concealed bomb (you can walk through a nude-o-scope with everything you need to bring down the plane and have no chance of being detected. It is admittedly a some-assembly-required process but nothing complex) but it does a better job at their <b>true</b> mission--drugs.

As for the guy not removing his shoes--there are medical reasons for this. TSA knows this. If there was a big delay it was because TSA was trying to make him miss his flight, not because he was in the wrong.

FlyingBacon:Sounds like shes making it something that isnt there. In a way I feel this was all planned to make TSA looks bad.

About 99.9% of people that fly knows the "drill" and I am sure these women did but they choice to make an issue of it. It was all staged on their part.

Good job on figuring out how to post that picture of yourself on fark. When you're 80, your great-grandchildren are going to ask "Grandpa, were you some kind of badass mexican gangster in your 20s or just some white suburban poser?"

This whole TSA mess is a bunch of bullshiat, people should be getting paid to do something productive, not to feel people up.I mean, I've had them grab my balls when I was going through security in LAX before, and though they had a light touch, it was still a terrible hand-job.also the whole TSA thing is just to make people feel safe in the air, and I suspect the governments know that.

and even if it does make people safer, I'd rather take the risk of the one in a million chance that someone will blow me up with a shampoo bottle, if it meant we could just live like unafraid shiats.

what's that british poster from WW2 say?Keep Calm and Cary onPS don't touch my balls if you're not going to do a good job of it

And immediately we have managed to eek out exactly what kind of person would be an InfoWars activist.

Ya know, I don't like the TSA any more than anyone else does. But if were going to knock that liquor store over can we PLEASE have someone other than Alex Jones behind the wheel of the getaway car?

IF YOU ARE SUCH farkING COWARDS THAT YOU DEFEND THE TSA BULLshiat THEN YOU ARE TOO farkING COWARDLY TO BE PATRIOTS. DO HUMANITY A FAVOR AND THROW YOURSELF IN A VOLCANO NOW. MAYBE THE GODS OR YOUR FEUDAL MASTERS OR LORDS OR ALL OF THE ABOVE IN ONCE PACKAGE OF CAVEMAN CRAZY YOU PREFER WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU AND REWARD YOUR SACRIFICE BY SPARING YOUR VILLAGE, BUT MY BET IS ON CTHULU

I sometimes wonder if I was the only male who paid attention during that portion of sex ed class, while the rest of the boys just sat there, slack-jawed, staring at the pictures with a vague buzzing ringing in their ears.

libranoelrose:ImpendingCynic: I don't particularly have a problem with what TSA has to do

Then you are scared shiatless chicken twatted ass wipe.

Not one bit. But I also don't see it as an invasive as this woman did. When a TSA agent is fondling my junk, I'm not offended. I'm mentally mocking him and thanking my parents for making me go to college so I don't have to fondle other guys' junk. Should the government be fondling my junk? No. But acting like an ass to the junk-fondler isn't going to change anything. I do expect them to act like decent human beings, however.

I don't believe that anything TSA does at the airport is worth anything, except the metal detectors to keep out weapons, and x-raying baggage. Asking me to pronounce my name? Pointless. Checking IDs at the gate, but announcing it before boarding? Pointless. Testing liquids bought post-security? Pointless.

In the 70s a woman airline hijacker carried a grenade in the crotch of her pants. She got on the plane.

See, in Europe, they actually know how to deal with terrorism, and they will give you the Dundee Shiela check to see if you hid a no-no object in your no-no area if you get a pat down. In America, most of the Hollywood pat-downs miss prime snuke areas.

I get pat down every time I fly. I am in a wheelchair - that tends to set off the scanners;) Not once have i been treated with anything but respect, courtesy, and kindness from the TSA. And their Aussie equivalents.

Mind you, I am polite to start with - expect kindness, amazing how people respond. 'Poor wickle cwipple' may account for it, but I prefer to believe most people are fundamentally ok. I know, this is Fark, you would expect after all this time* I would know better;)

* thought I had better check, almost wrote nearly a decade, and some Snarker will always check - turns out over 11 years? damn that's a lot of wasted invigoratingly spent time

Like a sea cucumber, the human female's vagina is fully capable of prolapsing. While this condition usually coincides with the window of fertility, it can also happen if the area is properly stimulated.

So yes, her vagina was touched. That dirty, dirty TSA agent didn't even kiss her first, just got her hot and bothered and went on with her business.

Yes, that's the standard "full body grope". I always opt for that because my aunt is a doctor in Italy and she said they refused to install those machines there because they kick out waaaay more radiation than they say and more than is safe.

While they are doing the grope I inform them of this and the fact that OSHA says the TSA agents around the machines are supposed to be wearing radiation monitors. I also bring up the YouTube video that shows how to easily beat the scanners and suggest they check it out.

Never fails to spook out half of them. The other half look either bored or like they hate their job.

Either way, you won't get cancer from the full body grope.

FYI, you can easily crotch something especially if wearing a pad as they don't go digging in that area. Not to mention flat out vag packing something! Lol

I stopped reading right there, but I did watch the video. The TSA rentacop totally got to 2nd base. However, that's the point of a patdown; to make sure some crazy chick isn't hiding a ceramic knife in her bra or underbritches.

Cewley:i'm thinking that if the tsa screenings are keeping people from doing bad shiat, then that's the price we have to pay. this twinkee can take the farking bus if she has a problem.

Well yah sure without the TSA those people would be running in their gangs and stealing from walmart instead of your luggage but honestly I think there's better make-work schemes that could be used instead. Make another hover dam or something, geeze. It almost sounds like you like having your junk molested by borderline vagrants.

I've had worse going into concerts. Still remember getting cup checked by a security guy at a Bad Religion show in Detroit. It was funny to see every single guy trying to look tough while stumbling the first few steps in that awkward ow my balls pose.

After the article the other day where Amanda Bynes claimed a police officer "slapped her vagina" I'm starting to wonder the same thing.
